               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                           September 30, 1994



Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  unaudited   condensed  consolidated   financial
statements have been prepared  in accordance with the instructions
to  Form  10-Q  and in  the  opinion of  the  Company  include all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations,
financial position, and changes in cash flow.  Reference should be
made to the footnotes included in the 1993 Annual Report.

The  results  of  operations  for  the  interim  periods  are  not
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.


Acquisitions

On  March 15, 1994, the  Company acquired certain  assets of North
Coast  Compounders, a  producer  of  thermoplastic elastomers  and
other  materials and  on July  19, 1994, the  Company   acquired
Th. Bergmann Kunststoffwerk GmbH, one of Germany's largest producers
of  specialty  and  reinforced   thermoplastic  compounds.     The
acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method  of
accounting.   Had the acquisitions  been made at  the beginning of
1993,  reported  results of  operations  would  not be  materially
different.


Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations in 1993 include $1.5 million from the sale
of  a  former  natural  resources  affiliate  and  $.3  million in
operating profits  related to  the Company's  elastomeric membrane
roofing  business.  During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company
announced  it  had reached  a  preliminary agreement  to  sell the
roofing  business.  The sale closed on August 8,1994, resulting in
an additional charge of $1.1 million  in the third quarter of 1994
for additional costs incurred while obtaining government antitrust
clearance for the sale.

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

Primary  net income  per  share of  common  stock is  computed  by
dividing  net  income applicable  to common  stock by  the average
number  of shares  outstanding during  the period  (30,950,417 and
30,829,804  for the three  month periods ended  September 30, 1994
and 1993, respectively, and 30,816,863 and 30,708,787 for the nine
month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively).


                             -5-


<PAGE>

Shares of common stock held  by  the  Associates  Ownership  Trust
("AOT") enter into the determination  of  the  average  number  of
shares outstanding as the shares are released from the AOT to fund
a  portion  of the  Company's  obligations  under certain  of  its
employee compensation and benefit  plans.  The effect  of assuming
the exercise of stock options was not significant in 1994.

The number of shares used to compute fully dilutive net income per
share is based on the number of shares used for primary net income
per share increased by the number of shares reserved under earnout
provisions of purchase agreements and the common stock equivalents
which would arise  from the  exercise of stock  options and  stock
warrants.   The average number  of shares used  in the computation
were 31,596,388 and 30,863,259  for the three month  periods ended
September  30, 1994  and  1993, respectively,  and 31,471,482  and
30,882,042 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1994 and
1993, respectively.

All per share amounts have been adjusted for a three-for-two stock
split for shareholders of record on May 23, 1994 that was effected
in the form of a stock dividend.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

       INTERIM FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




Results of Operations

Net sales increased $91.0 million in the third quarter of 1994 and
$212.3 million in the first nine months of 1994  compared with the
1993 periods.  Sales  from polymer processing businesses increased
$41.2 million and $106.7 million, respectively, due to higher unit
volumes  and acquisitions  made  in both  1993  and 1994.    Resin
distribution sales  increased $29.8  million in the  third quarter
and $66.0 million  in the  first nine months  over the  comparable
1993  periods due  to higher  unit volumes  and pricing.   Polymer
product  sales increased from  $113.5 million in  third quarter of
1993  to $128.9  million in  the comparable  1994 period  and from
$333.3 million for the first nine months of 1993 to $368.9 million
in  the  first nine  months of  1994 due  to higher  unit volumes.
Sales from other  operations decreased $1.0  million in the  third
quarter  and $4.3 million in  the first nine  months compared with
1993 periods due to the  sale of a business in the  fourth quarter
of 1993.

Cost of goods sold increased $72.1 million in the third quarter of
1994 and $168.4 million for the first nine months of 1994 compared
with 1993 periods and corresponds with the level of sales.

Selling,   general  and  administrative  expenses  increased  $9.5
million in the  third quarter  of 1994  and $23.3  million in  the
first  nine months  of  1994 compared  with  1993 periods  due  to
acquisitions of polymer processing businesses in 1993 and 1994 and
higher sales activities  from existing businesses.   However, as a
percentage  of sales,  selling, general  and administrative  costs
decreased from  12.6% and 13.0% in  the 1993 periods to  12.2% and
12.7%  in the  comparable 1994  periods, reflecting  the Company's
ongoing efforts to manage these costs.

Interest on debt  decreased $.9  million in the  third quarter  of
1994 and  $3.3 million in the  first nine months of  1994 compared
with  1993 levels due to  lower average borrowings, lower interest
rates  and the repurchase of $63.9 million principal amount of the
Company's  Senior  Notes  in the  second  quarter  of  1994.   The
repurchase of the Senior Notes resulted in an extraordinary after-
tax charge to earnings  of $3.7 million in  the second quarter  of
1994.

Income  from  discontinued operations  in  1993  consists of  $1.5
million  from the sale of a former natural resources affiliate and
$.3 million  in operating earnings from  the Company's elastomeric
membrane roofing business.  During the fourth quarter of 1993, the
Company announced it had reached  a preliminary agreement to  sell
the  roofing business.    The  sale  closed  on  August  8,  1994,
resulting in an  additional charge  of $1.1 million  in the  third

                             -7-

quarter  of 1994  for  additional costs  incurred while  obtaining
government antitrust clearance for the sale.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

 The  Company's   ability  to  generate  significant   cash  flows
continued  in the  first nine  months of  1994 with  $62.5 million
provided from operating activities.  This amount includes the  use
of  $15.7 million  for working  capital and  $8.6 million  for the
payment   of   obligations   related   to   prior  restructurings.
Investment  transactions used  $64.9  million  and  include  $28.8
million  for  capital  expenditures,  $53.4  million   related  to
acquisitions of businesses, partially  offset by $5.1 million from
the  sale of short-term securities and $13.9 million from the sale
of assets.   Financing activities  used $14.0 million  and include
$11.5  million for dividends,  $16.4 million in  net reductions of
outstanding debt, partially offset  by $13.9 million from proceeds
from the sale of stock.

The current ratio was 1.5:1 at September 30, 1994 and December 31,
1993.  Long-term debt to total capital was 44.2% at September  30,
1994 compared with 46.8% at December 31, 1993.

During the second  quarter of 1994, the  Company repurchased $63.9
million principal amount of  its Senior Notes in the  open market,
resulting in  an extraordinary  after-tax charge of  $3.7 million.
Funds to repurchase the  Senior Notes were obtained from  existing
cash  flows  as well  as  borrowings  under the  Company's  credit
agreements, which carry a  lower rate of interest than  the Senior
Notes.

On June 30, 1994, the Company entered into a new revolving  credit
agreement,  replacing an existing  credit agreement which provided
for a reducing amount  of credit availability.  The  new agreement
provides  commitments for  borrowings up  to $200  million through
June  1998.   The arrangement  provides for  interest rates  to be
determined at the time of borrowing based on a choice  of formulas
specified  in the agreement.   At September 30,  1994 , there were
$28.9  million  of  outstanding   borrowings  supported  by   this
agreement.

The Company also had a credit agreement which provided commitments
for borrowings of up to 150 million French francs through November
1996.   The agreement provided for interest rates to be determined
at  the time  of borrowing.   During  the third  quarter  of 1994,
borrowings  under  this  agreement  were  repaid  and  the  credit
agreement was terminated.

On July 19, 1994, the Company acquired Th. Bergmann Kunststoffwerk
GmBH.  The Company entered into an acquisition financing agreement
which provided for  borrowings in German marks.  It  is the intent
of the  Company  to refinance  the  acquisition financing  in  the
fourth quarter of 1994 and the first quarter of 1995.

The  Company believes that its ability to generate cash flows from
operations  and the  availability of  funds under  existing credit
facilities  will  be   sufficient  to  meet  anticipated   capital
expenditure  programs,  existing  obligations  arising  from prior

                             -8-

<PAGE>
restructurings and acquisitions,  dividend requirements and  other
planned financial commitments  in 1994 and throughout  the term of
the existing credit facilities.


Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to various laws and  regulations concerning
environmental  matters. The  Company is  committed to  a long-term
environmental   protection  program   that  reduces   releases  of
hazardous  materials  into  the  environment as  well  as  to  the
remediation of identified existing environmental concerns.

The  Company  is  involved in  certain  legal  actions  and claims
arising  in the  ordinary  course of  business including  lawsuits
brought  by the  State  of Idaho  in  1983 and  the United  States
government  in 1993  seeking  reimbursement from  the Company  and
other defendants for alleged damages to the environment and clean-
up costs for the area around the Blackbird Mine in Idaho.

Claims  have been  made against  a subsidiary  of the  Company for
costs of  environmental remediation measures taken or  to be taken
in  connection with  operations  that have  been  sold or  closed.
These include  the clean-up  of Superfund sites  and participation
with other companies in  the clean-up of hazardous  waste disposal
sites,  several of which have been  designated as Superfund sites.
In  April  1994,  the   New  Jersey  Department  of  Environmental
Protection  and  Energy  finalized  a Record  of  Decision,  which
incorporates the  agreed upon remediation  to be performed  by the
Company's subsidiary at its Wharton, New Jersey site.

Reserves  for  such  liabilities  have  been  established  and  no
insurance recoveries  have been reflected in  the determination of
reserves.   In  management's opinion,  such litigation  and claims
will be resolved without material adverse effect of  the financial
position of the Company.
